Verdict reached in Google's $1.67 billion lawsuit

According to a filing in federal court, Google reached a settlement on Wednesday in a patent infringement lawsuit concerning the chips that power the company's artificial intelligence technology.

SETTLEMENT REACHED

Tech giant Google has agreed to resolve a long-standing patent dispute with Cambridge-based Singular Computing over the design of microchips, which are a vital component of Google's artificial intelligence systems. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed to the public.

The trial for the case began two weeks ago in federal court in Boston. However, on Wednesday, lawyers for Google and Singular requested that the case be postponed to give the parties 30 days to reach a final settlement. Singular Computing had initially sought $1.67 billion in damages.

Google has reached an agreement to resolve the previous patent infringement lawsuit with the technology company Singular Computing. It was stated that in the patent lawsuit, Singular Computing accused Google of copying the designs of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).

PATENT LAWSUITS CONTINUE

Google, for its part, argued that the TPUs were developed independently by its own engineers. The court concluded the case regarding two Singular patents, but the process regarding other patent infringements continues.

A Google spokesperson stated that they could not disclose whether the settlement resolves all patent disputes. Google uses TPU chips to provide artificial intelligence features in services such as Gmail, Google Search, and Google Docs. These chips support functions such as helping the user find the predicted next word.

Google spokesperson Castaneda stated that because the agreement is confidential, they cannot say whether the settlement resolves all patent disputes.
